Add weather data feeds
Learn how to add weather data feeds via the web app and the mobile app.
What are weather data feeds?
Weather data feeds are used to capture environmental conditions of work areas. This can be helpful if an inspection is required or if tasks aren't safe to perform due to certain weather conditions. With SafetyCulture, you can add temperature, humidity, as well as wind speed and gust readings to your organization. With these data feeds, you can access historical logs of weather conditions and set them up to alert team members when conditions go outside of acceptable ranges.
What you'll need
Take note
You will be prompted to create or select the location name for each data feed you add. Keep in mind that sensor locations are different from the sites used in other areas of SafetyCulture, such as Inspections and Actions.
Currently, we support temperature, humidity, as well as wind speed and gust readings as part of weather data feeds. If there's a type of data feed that you want to see, please let us know by providing your feedback.
You can make use of data feeds by setting up alerts when readings go outside your defined range.
